How Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign for Ohio governor returned him to the 'real world' Gone is the anti-woke firebrand who challenged Donald Trump for president in 2024. Here is a Republican calling for consensus โ€” and calling out racism and bigotry in the GOP.

Oh, so now he's calling out racism in the GOP. ๐Ÿ™„This piece of shyt ran one of the most racist campaigns in 2024. His entire platform was anti-Black.

Don't be fooled, Ohio.

Forecasts About War Are Usually Wrongโ€”Hereโ€™s The Pattern, And Why You Should Worry | Justin Wolfers What if the most reassuring line in politicsโ€”โ€œthis will be quick and controlledโ€โ€”is actually the biggest warning sign? War is brutally costly, so the economistโ€™s puzzle is simple: if both sides knowโ€ฆ

I'm not quite sure what to call this โ€” a video essay, an explainer, an econ lesson, or something else.

It's my attempt to explain the economics of war โ€” economic theories of how and why war occurs โ€” and to use that framework to better understand our current moment.

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
